An Ode-ish work, and a little bit of apostrophe! Sometimes, I feel too close to the work just completed and can not look at it in terms of what it is, so I will leave the reader to judge for me!

Though a first draft (and I would normally leave such things to mature in a drawer for many months), I am pleased with the idea that this drawer stores all the important, recent memories for a person in the early stages of dementia. It is a lifeline – maybe that needs working in there somehow?

I have witnessed several people who have suffered this terrible disease; memory prompts are vital for the person to maintain their link between today and yesterday for it is often the short term that fails first, as well as the ability to remember names.

I have put a link on my blog for anyone who would like to find out more information about Alzheimers or dementia.
